If you think getting a reluctant borrower to make payment arrangements on a past due account is your biggest challenge in collections, think again! Recent litigation and enforcement actions have highlighted the immense risk facing the collections function. Besides lending, no operational area has undergone greater regulatory transformation. Both regulators and litigators have been keenly focused on efforts to collect past due accounts and recover collateral. At the heart of the scrutiny is increased emphasis on consumer protection from the CFPB and the rising tide of lender liability lawsuits. Bankruptcy filings are becoming more complicated. This webinar explains the actions that must be taken to protect your financial institution's interests, and the actions that are prohibited. Although the webinar focuses on consumer bankruptcies, commercial bankruptcies are covered, too. Residential and commercial real estate loan problems continue to trouble financial institutions. There are several alternatives to consider when dealing with troubled real estate loans, including workouts, deeds in lieu, short sales, foreclosures, and deficiency judgments. All of these options pose a certain amount of risk exposure, so making a mistake could result in losses that far exceed the amount of the loan. THE ESSENTIALS OF COLLECTIONS LAW January 13, 2016 YOUR CUSTOMER HAS FILED BANKRUPTCY -- NOW WHAT? March 29, 2016 From fair lending, to the risks of using automated reminder calls, to servicing real estate loans, it is a dangerous world for the unprepared collections department. This webinar reviews the landmines inherent in collection efforts and the impact they have on operations, vendors, and borrowers. Join us to learn immediate action steps to ensure your institution is prepared for the added scrutiny. This program addresses the more difficult situations such as when a cram down is permitted, when a reaffirmation agreement is required, what constitutes a fraudulent transfer or preference payment, and when a lien is effective against exempt property. Attending this webinar provides the knowledge necessary to strengthen your institution's position in Chapter 7, 11, and 13 bankruptcies. REAL ESTATE LOAN WORKOUTS, DEEDS IN LIEU, SHORT SALES, FORECLOSURES, DEFICIENCY JUDGMENTS & RECEIVERSHIPS May 25, 2016 This webinar explains all aspects, risks, and proper steps for each alternative so you can properly evaluate which is best for each situation. ADVANCED COLLECTION CONCEPTS, COMPLIANCE AND RISKS July 21, 2016 Which operational area of your institution is most likely to drive a borrower into the arms of a consumer rights attorney? Collections! What are you doing to manage the many hidden compliance risks in your collections area while also maximizing recoveries? The collections function is not just about dialing for dollars and repossessing collateral. The collections area is at the crossroads of account services and back-office operations. You need to know the risks and opportunities that present themselves. Is your collections department ready to help both the borrower and the institution weather the storm? From dealing with staff, to delinquent borrowers, to attorneys, to the board and senior management, the collections manager's job is becoming more difficult all the time. Collections is not just about the delinquency ratio. Attend this webinar and be prepared!
BEST PRACTICES FOR GARNISHMENTS AND LEVIES: GETTING IT RIGHT! September 7, 2016 Has your institution implemented proper procedures for handling garnishments and levies? Institutions handle these complicated legal processes daily, but many do so without the proper training, which can expose the institution to significant liability. This webinar explains the steps necessary to properly handle garnishments and levies, such as identifying accounts, placing account holds, answering interrogatories, notifying the account holder, and remitting funds. You also learn the special garnishment procedures for accounts that receive federal benefit payments. In addition, this webinar explains the steps your institution must take when attempting to garnish your borrower's funds. MAXIMIZING RECOVERIES ON CHARGED-OFF LOANS October 27, 2016 Are you getting the most from the back end of your loan portfolio? Out of sight, out of mind shouldn't describe your charged-off loans. Just because you declare a loan loss internally doesn't mean there should be zero recovery. Utilizing in-house efforts, collection agencies, and law firms, there are many ways to find money in those "worthless" loans. All you need is a plan and the ability to manage it. This webinar gives you both! From the timing of charge off, to effective third-party placement details, to the science of tracking and comparing recovery results, this webinar explores the practical side of the forgotten art of charge-off recovery.
